Have writer's block? Hopefully this resource will help librarians identify publishing and presentation opportunities in library & information science, as well as other related fields. I will include calls for papers, presentations, participation, reviewers, and other relevant notices that I find on the web. If you find anything to be posted, please drop me a note. thanks -- Corey Seeman, University of Michigan(cseeman@umich.edu)

AALL/LexisNexis Call for Papers

The AALL/LexisNexis Call for Papers Committee is soliciting articles in three categories:

Open Division: For active and retired AALL members and law librarians with five or more years of professional experience. Papers are due by March 2, 2009;

New Members Division: For recent graduates and AALL members who have been in the profession for less than five years. Papers are due by March 2, 2009

Student Division: For students in library, information management or law school. Participants in this division need not be members of AALL. To submit in this category, you must have been enrolled in law school, or in a library school, information management, or an equivalent program, either in the Fall 2008 or Spring 2009 semester. Papers in the Student Division are due by April 15, 2009.

The winner in each division receives $750 donated by LexisNexis, plus the opportunity to present the winning paper at a program at the 2009 AALL Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. Winning papers are also considered for publication in Law Library Journal.
